What our families have to say…
Sharon helped us realise the importance of fostering our daughters’ confidence and individual strengths. She helped us to realise that we should be encouraging them to think and act in a positive and thoughtful way.
Not only have my husband and I learned a great deal from Sharon, our girls also benefited from her insight and experience. She has brought so much joy to our family while we learn how to guide our little ones.

"‘Great advice! Knowing how great it is to enjoy my kids now the only aim is forward with the same strong rules!
As you said it’s for their future! I want to raise strong independent individuals! Never know one day they might thank me if not it’s all worth a try,
All good & hard work pays off in the end! You have been sent to us by the higher power & we forever will be thankful for YOU.”

"We had the pleasure of working with Sharon for 3 weeks, during her intensive parenting workshop. Her methods transformed our household from a stressful environment to a harmonious one. We have two little boys who can be quite a challenge at times (!) but the suggestions and information Sharon gave us worked really well and made a lot of sense to us and really helped to improve their behaviour.
We found the course content and guidebook to be easy to follow and properly explained to us, and still now refer to it when we need some help.
Sharon is a really delightfully engaging person who is very easy to connect with and has a sense of fun. We felt comfortable and relaxed straight away talking with her. She went above and beyond with us to make sure we felt supported and on one occasion even offered to come over and mind our boys so we could go to dinner and have some couple time.
We really appreciate Sharon’s generosity and kindness and always know we can call her if we need further advice. Her follow-up calls after the workshop have been ongoing and really appreciated.
In short, I would highly recommend Sharon and her coaching to anyone seeking advice with parenting and relating to their children in a positive and productive way in order to optimise their behaviour and bring peace and joy to their home environment.”

"We chose Sharon to help us connect with and guide our daughter on the basis of the success she has had raising her own children. I’ve been witness to her parenting style completely turning families around. with Sharon’s help, we have gotten to a point where our kids want to be well-behaved. Her style of parenting seems to work for every child like magic!”
-Julie and Mark, Balmain
"Sharon’s own children are great examples of how her parenting skills raise really happy and respectful young adults. They also seem to really adore her and we believe that’s what every parent wants.”
- Brooke Horne, Waverley
“When Sharon walked through the door for our initial meeting, she had this amazing rush of love, comfort, and nurture about her. My husband and I locked her in on the spot and we have never looked back.
At the time Sharon first began coaching us, our daughter wouldn't sleep for more than half-hour periods throughout the day and she would need to be rocked to sleep in our arms every time. She would wake at 5:00 am every morning (after 3 feeds a night!!!). Sharon has taught my husband and I have some incredible skills to ensure our daughter continues with her amazing new habits. Ava now sleeps 3 times a day for 2 hours at a time, she goes to bed at 7:00 pm and wakes up in the morning at 7:00 am! Because Ava is sleeping better, she's eating better, she plays better and this makes for a very happy baby (and Daddy & Mummy).”

"I have been following Sharon’s advice and talking to my son in a lovey-dovey way, and yes, it works a treat…he loves it and puts his little head down with a cute, shy smile. I tell him to look at me with his beautiful blue eyes and I talk to him while he’s looking into my eyes…he seems to listen more when I do that too. Thank you Sharon!”

“Shazzie is lots of fun, she plays with me and she makes me feel happy.“

"Before Sharon arrived at our house we had been dealing with a two-year-old that was spiraling out of control. He was losing respect for us, his belongings, his friends, and his place in our family.
Behaviours such as running away, hitting, kicking, and general defiance had become the norm and we were no longer able to deal with it. Cracks were showing in our family life, our relationship with our son, and each other.
Then along came Sharon/modern-day Mary Poppins.
After a lengthy (free) phone conversation discussing the behaviours and how to overcome them, my husband and I decided to book in a home visit. She arrived at our doorstep and after a brief chat with myself and my husband, she swung into action. She observed our son interacting with us and when we were losing control she would step in and demonstrate the tone and body language we should be using. Within half an hour our son was responding like he hadn’t done so for months.
The changes in our parenting style have been a challenge because we were being far too soft, however, Sharon was clear that the toughness is only short term while the family hierarchy is reinstated as our son finds his place. This statement is proving itself to be true!
Since her visit, our son has started to transform into a divine little man that we love to be around. He is becoming more and more affectionate and hitting/kicking has become a thing of the past. His running away has stopped and rarely needs reminders to use his manners.
Sharon gave us the confidence to take our son out to a family dinner (at a nice restaurant) and the little angel sat there for the whole dinner which ran almost two hours past his bedtime. There were times that we needed to be tough, but they could be counted on one hand. 2 weeks ago we couldn’t even get through a coffee and cake in a cafe.
I’m also amazed that Sharon has made herself available for follow-up calls and text messages when we have doubted ourselves or to help us find alternatives for tools that are no longer working.
Sharon has given us the confidence and the tools we needed for our family to start living in the harmony we all deserve and need. We will be forever grateful for her imparting her wisdom.”

"Sharon helped us learn how to treat our children with respect and firmness, mixed generously with love, fun, and magic. Within clear boundaries of right and wrong, she showed us how to let them express themselves and make their own choices. Allowing our children to learn by testing boundaries, but always there to encourage or explain the consequences.
Sharon’s philosophy helps us teach kids that the world is a happy, crazy place, full of simple things to enjoy. But also that there are rules and each person must act responsibly and thoughtfully. This is all done calmly and without fuss in a way that builds a very special relationship with the children, who are learning respect, manners, and appreciation.”
-Natasha and Scott Ryall, Balmain
Dear Sharon,
Things have been improving for sure- lots of distractions necessary but hoping it’ll get less and less! Appreciate your help and follow-up so much! Will keep you posted as the week goes xxx
